One of the stories I read about the Sandy Hook tragedy was told by a little survivor. He was in music class, and his wonderful young teacher hid the children in a closet after locking the door to the classroom. The killer came to the door and beat on it shouting, "LET ME IN!" "LET ME IN!" The children remained perfectly silent, some holding their musical instruments so as to keep them from making a sound.
And then they prayed.
The killer left. This was his last stop before killing himself.
When I read this, I immediately thought of the words of Jesus in Revelation 3:20. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
"But, Jesus, sorry you're not allowed to come in to our classrooms. And that prayer was a no-no, too."
If He's standing at your door, LET HIM IN. He is the Light in this horribly dark world. He is our ONLY hope and salvation.
Oh, and I think we best let Him back into our schools, too.
